I Remember Padme

I know my last chapter sounded like my story was at an end but Ive got a long way to go before that happens. Most of the quotes given from now on are from either the novel or film versions of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (some are my own creation and are to be used in in-between scenes which are not featured in the books or films)

From now:

Watch how I screw with Obi-Wan’s mind, watch as I bring anguish and angst into his life, watch how I run whilst Obi-Wan want my blood for doing this to their precious Obi.

Chapter 4- The Final Kiss Goodbye

My fears were confirmed the next day. As Anakin and I stood before the Jedi Council with Yoda saying that I must investigate the whereabouts of the bounty hunter, I just knew what was going to happen next. It was evitable. Padme needed protection and if I was not ordered to give it, then the job would go to…..

I asked anyway “What about Senator Amidala? She will still need protecting.”

Yoda turned to gaze at Anakin and I immediately thought “Oh no”

“Handle that, your Padawan will.” Yoda said.

As my heart sank, I could feel Anakin’s heart leapt. I turned to face him and he had a serious look on his face which cleverly hid his approval. The rest of the meeting seemed to be a blur memory as I thought of the two of them together, on Naboo. Luckily for me, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Anakin bow and I bowed too, knowing it was time to go. When we left the Council, Anakin said he was going to see the Chancellor about Padme leaving the capital. I nodded and we went our separate ways.

As quickly as I could, I went towards Padme’s apartment and knocked on the door. I expected to see one of her handmaidens open the door but I saw Padme herself as the door opened.

“Obi,” she said as we hugged, “I missed you.”

I chuckled, “I have been away for a few hours.”

She winked, “I meant this morning. It would have been lovely to wake up seeing you in my bed.”

I whispered, “You know I couldn’t do that. No-one can ever know. It’s too dangerous. May I come in.”

She let me in and I sat down on her couch and she sat down next to me.

She asked, “So what takes you away from your Jedi duties?”

I said, “It’s about you. The Jedi Council has decided that you are to be taken away from the capital for your own safety.”

“What?! I cant leave Coruscant now. The Act is too important. I’ve not spent so long working on the decline of this Act. I cant leave.”

“I know how difficult this situation is for you but it’s meant to be for your own protection.”

I could see her shaking with fury and I held her to comfort and calm her.

“Shhhh”, I said, “Anakin will look after you.”

“Anakin? What about you?”

“I’ve been assigned to look for the person behind the attempts on your life.”

It was then she began to cry, “I want you by me. I love you, Obi.”

“I love you too.” I kissed her on the top of her head.

We held each other for a long time, savouring the moment. We did not know when we would be in each other’s arms again. All I can say I’m glad I took the risk the previous night. It was unknown what was going to happen and I’m grateful I had a chance to show her how I felt about her and knowing she loved me in return as the best feeling in the world.

We look at each other in the eyes and kissed each other softly on the lips. The kiss seemed to last as long as the hug and it was just as beautiful. Suddenly we heard a knock on the door. Padme released her hold of me and opened the door. It was none other than Anakin.

“Hello, Anakin.”

“Hello, Master.”

I got up and walked to the door and moved against Anakin and Padme. I turned towards her and said, “I will take my leave now, m’lady.”

“Very well, Master Kenobi.”

I bowed slightly and moved down the corridor, trying not to think what could happen between the two of them on Naboo.


The time had come. Anakin and Padme were dressed in simple brown tunics to depict themselves as refugees. I just watched them from the shuttle exist as they prepared their leave. Padme was saying her goodbyes to her handmaiden, Dorme. I knew how close the two women were- they were almost like sisters so it was no surprise that there were tears. I almost felt a tear in my eye for I felt the same way as Dorme but I could not express my sorrow, not in front of her and certainly not in front of Anakin. He can be very suspicious and can pick up anything. I did not want him or Dorme or Captain Typho to suspect anything.

Anakin was trying to hide it but I knew he was smiling and this made me feel uncomfortable. The thought of the two of them together alone- it could lead to anything.

To keep things at bay and in control, I said to Anakin, “Stay on Naboo. Don’t attract attention. Don’t do anything without checking me or the Council.”

“Yes Master” he answered obediently.

I turned to Padme, “I will get to the bottom of this plot quickly m’Lady.” I smiled and continued, “You’ll be back here in no time.”

She smiled back “I will be most grateful for your speed, Master Jedi”.

I knew that smile and I knew what she was feelings inside. She wanted to be back as soon as she could. What she said were not false words. That gave me hope that we would be together again.

In an almost bitter tone, Anakin said “Time to go.”

“I know” she said but she did not sound pleased at Anakin’s command and I chuckled inside. Although I felt uncomfortable at the thought of them being together, I knew their time together would be an interesting.

As they began to move, I said to Anakin, “May the Force be with you.”

Anakin said, “May the Force be with you, Master.” I knew he meant every word. Although we had our differences in the past, we were still close and make a great team. He was like the brother I never had.

As they walked off, I said “I hope he doesn’t try anything foolish.”

Typho said, “I’d be more concerned about her doing something than him.”

I hope so, I though I sure do hope so.
